A friend of mine just announced that they and their co-workers are going on a strike to protest poor working conditions and pay.

What are some concrete steps I can do to support them? What are some things they can do to ensure the strike gets attention and is successful?

    Thanks for the suggestions!

    Have they talked to any union organizers, or are they going it wildcat?

    Not sure! I know they have an official union rep, but I don’t know if they’re a formal union with real support. I’ve asked and will reply again once I find out!

    Local social media and news outlets are good places to broadcast the strike. Talk to people at similar businesses and see if they can join the strike.

    Absolutely! I asked if they have a web page or official statement that can be shared with local news orgs. I don’t think they do yet, but I’m pushing them to get one out!
